Why was the Bayeux Tapestry made in 1066?

One theory states that the creators of the tapestry were inspired by Trajan’s Column on a trip to Rome.

Just as Trajan’s Column depicts that emperor’s conquest of Dacia, so does the tapestry depict the Norman conquest of England.

Who was the patron of the Norman tapestry?
